Little Tiger sounds like a boy's name because she dresses as a boy to survive in an alpha male society and then she decides to travel and work on building the railroad for $1 a day. But mostly, she just wants to find her lost father who everybody believes to be dead." Iron Road has few examples in costumes, music, sound, and lightning. The sound volume went up when the scene moved to china got louder. For example sound like explosives and iron, rock, and wood.
One point that Chua makes is that Eastern parenting is the correct method of parenting because they do not take the psyche or self esteem of the child into consideration during critique. Suicide Note by Janice Mirikitani is the farewell of a college student who committed suicide due to feeling inadequate. Eastern parenting techniques are psychologically damaging to their children and the parents are taking the risk of pushing them over the edge with the extreme pressure and expectations. Chua says in Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior that “Western parents are concerned about their children’s psyches. Chinese parents aren’t.
Some ideas and theories in science meet with resistance. One of the examples when an idea is meeting with the resistance is immunization. More often children immunization meets with public resistance. As the vaccination of children is parents' decision many decides not to do it. Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s.

Country Lovers VS the Welcome Table Shantel Rider ENG125: Introduction to Literature Nathan Pritts October 1, 2012 Country Lovers VS the Welcome Table “Country Lovers” and “the Welcome Table” both deal with interracial problems. In “Country Lovers” the two young lovers are forbidden to see and be with each other because they are of different races. In “the Welcome Table” the little old lady is kicked out of church because she is black and it is a white church. I feel that both stories themes are shame and selfishness. In “Country Lovers” Thebedi and Paulus are sneaking around and get pregnant and do not think of the consequences and Paulus kills the baby when he finds out Thebedi has given birth to a baby and sees that it is light skin.
March 8 / 2011 Amy Chua Less than a fortnight into the new year and already one of the most controversial books of 2011 has emerged. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother – an autobiographical study of the failings of western parenting by Yale law professor Amy Chua – has just been published in the US to a mixed chorus of plaudits and outrage. Chua – who is married to novelist Jed Rubenfeld, author of The Interpretation of Murder – relates in the book how she approached the rearing of her own two daughters, Sophia and Lulu, with the strictness of the Chinese child-rearing model she inherited from her own parents. The Tiger, Chua explains, is "the living symbol of strength and power", inspiring fear and respect. And as a "Tiger mother" herself, she assumed the absolute right to dictate her children's activities and demand rigorous academic standards of them at all times, ridiculing them if necessary to spur them on to greater efforts.
Material depravation is the lack of money and resources in the home. Sociologists who are ‘material depravation sociologists’ believe that the main cause of underachievement is lack of money and resources due to poverty. Overcrowding can lead to children not being able to study/ do homework, there may also be disturbed sleep, also, in a crowded household, children have a higher risk of accident. Families living in temporary housing will also be worse off as it means the child may have disrupted education. Howard (2001) noted that young people from poorer homes have lower intakes of energy, vitamins, and minerals.
Bill Lann Lee, former Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the Clinton Administration, noted that discrimination and exclusion of African Americans and Asian Americans remains for them a common experience. Discrimination of minority voters still exists. The assumption that “politics” is getting what you want is not the case for minorities. In this way, Chinese Americans’ political apathy probably reflects the fact that they feel powerless and weak in American society. In many cases, Chinese Americans do not feel they can make a substantial difference, even if they take part in.

Sometimes, an individual may be required to fulfil a role not through choice, but rather one that is determined by the individual’s links with one’s cultural background. For example, individuals stemming from Chinese backgrounds are often portrayed by the media as being required to be academically excellent by their parents. It is fair to assume that not all Chinese children choose to live out this role, as Vanessa Woods indicates in “Perfect Chinese Children”. Wood’s identity has been forged soon after birth by her underpinning Chinese heritage. It could be inferred that such harsh expectations on Woods has stifled the growth of her identity, because she was forbidden to fulfill her ambitions of becoming a writer, and instead was almost coerced into succeeding academically and making her mother proud.
